Waiting for the Rhoda spinoff to have a complete series DVD release. I am buying all the DVD's I had in the past because of the pandemic and no sports.

One of the small nice side effects of all that's going on right now is finding the time to (re)discover some old classics. I think that it's kind of nice that you've gotten into some classic t.v. shows.

Rhoda was an entertaining character for the show and indeed she was good looking, but once you get past looks and start getting to know her better, many guys might pass on that. She is irresponsible with money (remember that one episode where she borrows money off Mary and leaves her hanging) and she has bad taste in clothing and decor, she looks like a gypsy fortune teller and her apartment looks like she threw up a bottle of pepto bismo all over the walls, it's hideous, and she decorated Lou's house too, and took nothing into account about the style of the man whom had to live with it. She was a loser and always over-analyzed and second guessed everything to the point of obsession. She drove Joe nuts and it's nobody's fault but her's, that her marriage failed.
Mary can't go to sleep with a sink full of dirty dishes, Rhoda would let the roaches swarm her place, but Mary is better than that. She is very neat and tidy, a well dressed woman with good taste in everything. She is polite and does not want to hurt anyone's feelings, because she's genuinely nice. She's pretty and any man would be glad to have her, she's responsible, hard working and has a good professional job. Now if I also had a good professional job like Ted Baxter, I think he chose very well with Georgette, whom could dedicate herself to making a man happy, whom happens to be a self absorbed a-hole and needs a lot of attention. Mary would probably fall short on that one, because she would not have the time and patience for that.
I'm glad they did a Lou - Sue Ann Nivens hook up in that one episode, I think that's about the best Lou could get for himself, being the way he was.
Rhoda is what the TV Tropes site would call "Hollywood homely." She's an attractive woman who gets frumped down (still attractive, though), and is treated in-universe as homely and undateable when in real life she'd be nothing of the kind. This was (and still is) pretty common in TV and film.
